Robert O’Reilly, best-known to Star Trek fans as the Klingon Chancellor Gowron, explains the Klingon character from how Gowron was conceived by O’Reilly to how Gowron developed.

When O’Reilly first took on the role of Gowron, he had just finished Shakespeare‘s King Lear and Gowron’s character was based on one of the characters from the play, Edmund, a cunning and opportunistic man.

Recently, Trektoday reported that there would be a Star Trek night at Dodger Stadium on Friday, August 3rd, and now comes news that none other than William Shatner will throw out the first pitch at the game.

On August 3 at 7:10 PM, the Los Angeles Dodgers will hold their first-ever “Star Trek Night” at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers will be playing the Chicago Cubs.

According to the Dodgers official website, “Star Trek legend William Shatner will be at Dodger Stadium for pre-game festivities and to throw the first pitch.”

Fans that purchased the recent release of Season One of Star Trek: The Next Generation found that there were audio issues with their DVDs and CBS Home Video has acknowledged that and has taken corrective action.

The correction comes less than a week after the Blu-ray set was released.

“You can’t blame people for being interested and excited, trying to find out,” he said. “But everyone who’s involved in the film is committed to keeping it under wraps.”

Greenwood explained why such secrecy is necessary. “So the audience can have an experience that isn’t complicated by having to pretend they don’t know what happens,” he said. “It makes it trickier to conceal things so that when you see it for the first time you don’t know what’s coming, but that’s okay.”
